Donald Dean

“Probably not much, really. Try to keep the man around, detain him. If I didn’t have a weapon, I couldn’t do much.”

“If I was in a predicament and came face-to-face with Saddam Hussein, I would have a canon in my pocket, and I would kill him.”

“I think the question would be what would it take to resolve the differences between our nations. I would ask him why he has taken the stance against our country.”

“I probably wouldn’t recognize him. I’d just think, ‘Hey, that guy looks an awful lot like Saddam Hussein,’ so I probably wouldn’t do anything.”

“First instinct? Assassination. I believe he’s done enough in the world community that if he’s not going to accept an exile, he needs to be removed from the world community.”

“Depends on whether or not I could get my hands on him.”

“Call the proper authorities, I guess.”

Mike Bustamante
